Workplace Charging in California – Projected Need by 2020

Workplace charging has a long way to go. This slide from yesterday’s California Air Resources Board (CARB) meeting shows 1,775 Workplace Level 2 charging stations currently installed in California. (as of September, 2015)

In order to meet the state’s goal of having infrastructure to support 1 million Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2020, there needs to be between 82,000 and 144,000 L2 charging stations according to a report* by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory prepared for the California Energy Commission. *CEC-600-2014-003
